Abstract
We study a generalisation of the one-dimensional Rademacher random walk introduced in Bhattacharya and Volkov (2023) to (for , the Rademacher random walk is always transient, as follows from Theorem 8.8 in Englander and Volkov (2025)). This walk is defined as the sum of a sequence of independent steps, where each step goes in one of the four possible directions with equal probability, and the size of the th step is where is a given sequence of positive integers. We establish some general conditions under which the walk is recurrent or transient.
